00:00El premio Nobel de Literatura 2010

00:12ha sido otorgado al escritor peruano

00:28Mario Vargas Llosa por su cartografía

00:34de las estructuras del poder y sus afiladas imágenes

00:40de la resistencia, rebelión y derrota del individuo.

00:46He was one of the people responsible for the boom

00:50in Latin American literature during the 60s and 70s

00:54with a number of masterpieces, starting with his first book

01:00The Time of the Hero, I think it's called in English,

01:04when he was just 25 years old

01:06and continued to produce a number of very, very respected

01:11and excellent works of fiction.

01:14They are often very complex in composition, his books.

01:17He is masterful when it comes to dialogue, shifting time planes

01:22and shifting persons, always going for the big picture.

01:25He started writing by working as a teenage journalist back in Peru,

01:32running around on crime scenes and so on.

01:35He has never really left journalism.

01:37He has been reporting from both Gaza and Iraq.

01:40So he is a very multi-talented man.

01:43I would recommend The Feast of the Goat,

01:47which is his book about the Dominican Republic

01:51and the assassination of the dictator,

01:54the old long-standing dictator Rafael Trujillo.

01:57It's a very exact and chilling book

02:00on the inner workings of a dictatorship.

02:02Not only the thing that dictators do

02:05when they sort of kill and torture and censor people,

02:08but also about moral corruption,

02:10the moral corruption of dictatorship.

02:12He believes in improving the world.

02:15He believes in fiction and the power of fiction

02:18to improve the world.

02:19And if that's not an ideal direction, I don't know.

02:23Thank you very much, Peter England.

02:25Thank you.

02:26Thank you.

02:27Thank you.
